Describe facilitated diffusion of ions through the channel proteins

Biology
1 answer:
Amiraneli [1.4K]3 years ago
4 0

Facilitated diffusion is usually significant to pass the ions across the hydrophobic layer of the plasma membrane. Transmembrane integral protein and careers proteins provide the channels that allow the ion to pass across the membrane.  When an ion bind to their active site on the protein (note that the proteins are very selective), the protein changes conformation. It is this change in conformation opens up the channel that allows the ions to be passed across the membrane. When the ions are released inside of the cell, the protein resumes normal shape (and the channel also closes) and the active site becomes available again or another ion.

The pathway that the viruses would most likely follow on first entering the plant is D. PHLOEM.

The phloem, whose purpose is to transport food from the leaves to the plant, is used as the pathway to spread the virus throughout the plant. The manifestation of aphid transmitted virus is the yellowing, mottling, or curling of leaves and the stunted growth of the plant.
